Make Ahead

Dessert can be made up to 4 hours in advance. Remove from refrigerator 30 min. before serving.

How to Safely Store Cool Whip Desserts

Whether made in advance or left over, desserts frosted or decorated with Cool Whip Whipped Topping should be covered and stored in the refrigerator.

Makeover - How We Did It

We've taken a classic recipe and made it over by preparing with Jell-0 Vanilla Fat Free Instant Pudding, skim milk, Cool Whip Light Whipped Topping and an angel food cake. We also eliminated both the butter and icing sugar in the chocolate topping. With these changes, you'll save 140 calories and 9g of total fat, including 2.5g of saturated fat, per serving.

Excellent lite dessert. My husband's favorite dessert is fruit pies but he asked for seconds of the Boston cream pie & said this one is a keeper. I added an extra ounce of semi sweet chocolate & a little extra cool ship to the chocolate so the chocolate would dribble over the sides. Nice presentations & thoroughly enjoyed by all!

Was a nice lighter version of the Boston Cream. Was very easy to make. Will certainly make again.

I made this for my family reunion and everyone asked for the recipe. I have made it many times it is light and refreshing.

This was a yummy and light dessert. I had to double the chocolate icing as the recipe doesn't make enough like the picture shows. If you want chocolate to drizzle over then triple the icing!

Love it. So easy and you don't have to heat up the kitchen. A deliciously decadent dessert, but not totally sinful!

Made this with individual angle food cakes and just used snack size banana pudding. Turned out great!

Delicious! I have made this a couple of times for dessert, and everyone loves it. Definitely a lighter version, which makes me feel better about serving it "just because". I do admit I double the chocolate topping though, doesn't seem to be enough with what the recipe calls for.
